Restoration Ripple Effects: Co-benefits to fish, wildlife, and communities. River restoration benefits more than fish. Healthy and restored river corridors have room to move, taking on complex and connected forms. Water can readily access the floodplain as water rises, slowing a river’s flow, providing diverse habitats to both aquatic and terrestrial species, and cleaning water…

Sometimes, you can learn an awful lot more about a river, and specifically where fish will be holding in a river, by looking at it from above, rather than standing in it. Granted, that’s not always that easy when you are fishing in flat terrain. But I know plenty of anglers who have been driven…
